Gradually straighten your smile with customized aligners that are perfectly made for your teeth. Invisalign aligners are a popular choice for people who don’t want to wear conventional braces.
Invisalign are incredibly popular, clear aligners that are custom-fit to your teeth and can help to realign and straighten crooked teeth without the traditional braces look.
Unlike their traditional counterparts, Invisalign does not require metal braces and disrupt the natural look of your teeth.
Because typical treatment plans average about 12 months long, Invisalign can also speed up the process of straightening teeth, reducing treatment times up to 24 months.
Invisalign works by utilizing a series of custom-made, clear aligners designed to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. The process begins with a consultation where we evaluate your teeth and create a digital 3D model using advanced imaging technology. This model allows us to map out a precise treatment plan, showing the step-by-step transformation of the teeth from their current state to the final alignment. Each set of aligners is crafted from a smooth, BPA-free plastic material and is worn over the teeth, applying controlled pressure to specific areas to encourage movement. Patients typically wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, for 20-22 hours per day, before progressing to the next set in the series.
The effectiveness of Invisalign lies in its personalized and progressive approach. Unlike traditional braces, which use fixed brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing for easier eating, brushing, and flossing. The treatment plan is tailored to the individual, with the number of aligners varying based on the complexity of the case—ranging from a few months to over a year. Throughout the process, patients visit their provider periodically to monitor progress and receive new aligners. The clear design makes Invisalign discreet, appealing to those seeking a less noticeable alternative to metal braces, while still addressing issues like crowding, gaps, or bite misalignment. By consistently wearing the aligners as directed, patients can achieve a straighter, healthier smile with minimal disruption to their daily lives.
If you get your Invisalign done by a professional team, your clear aligners should not damage your teeth.
No! There is no age limit for clear aligners. Children, teens and adults all qualify to get Invisalign.
Absolutely! Invisalign actually provides more flexibility than many other teeth straightening options. You can take it out when you are eating or you can take it out if you have a special event. Because they are clear, they are also much less noticeable.
Typically you will need to see the dentist every 6 to 8 weeks until your treatment is completed. Your dentist will let you know how often you need to attend your appointments and for how long.
Since your Invisalign clear aligners can be removed at meal times, your diet does not have to change.
If you have or have had braces, you could still be a great candidate for Invisalign. Speak to our dentist to fully understand if you are a good candidate. He may help you replace your current braces with Invisalign clear aligners.
